The Innocent Half Marathon is a well-regarded annual race in South Queensferry, Scotland, designed to align with training schedules for major spring marathons like London, Brighton, and Edinburgh. The 2025 edition, held on February 23, featured a half marathon route that combined car-free roads through the picturesque Dalmeny Estate and cycle paths between South Queensferry and Burnshot. The course was predominantly tarmac (85%) with sections of runnable track (15%), offering approximately 275 meters of ascent over undulating terrain. The event is aptly named "Innocent" as it raises funds for three children's charities: Richmond’s Hope, Kidney Kids Scotland, and Firefly International. Participants received a commemorative medal, and the route was fully marked and marshalled to ensure a smooth experience.
